Peniophora albobadia is a species of crust fungus in the family Peniophoraceae.

Taxonomy

[edit]

First described scientifically by Lewis David de Schweinitz in 1822,[2] it was transferred to the genus Peniophora by Jacques Boidin in 1961.[3] It is commonly found in the United States.[4][5]

Etymology

[edit]

The species epithet is derived from albo-, white, and badi- meaning reddish-brown, the epithet accurately describing the vivid contrast between the fertile area and the margin.[6]

The common name, giraffe spots, was coined by a member of the New York Mycological Society, based on specimens found during surveys of the boroughs of New York City.[6]

Description

[edit]

The fruiting body is 1–12 centimetres (124+12 in) across, with brown zones in the center and a fuzzy white margin.[7]

Similar species

[edit]

A similar-looking species Duportella malenconii has brown caps that peel away. There are few other lookalikes in North America.[7]

Ecology

[edit]

It is a saprobic fungus, forming spreading crusts on the bark of decaying twigs and fallen branches of many hardwood species.
